EVERTON MAKES A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT ON THEIR FIRST FIXTURES AT THEIR NEW STADIUM

Everton are set to move to their new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium for the new season.

The Blues will leave their famous Goodison Park ground at the end of the current campaign as the Friedkin Group take the club into the new era.

There have been numerous issues raised over Everton’s new ground, forcing Liverpool City Council to implement changes to their parking policies.

Now, there has been a new announcement from the Toffees on the future of their new home.

Everton announce next Bramley-Moore Dock event

The first test event for the Bramley-Moore Dock ground took place on 17 February when the Blues’ Under-18s were defeated by Wigan Athletic’s youth team.

Everton have announced that the second test event will take place 23 March with an Under-21s fixture against Bolton B.

The match will be played in front of 25,000 supporters and kick-off will be at 2pm as the state-of-the-art stadium takes a step closer to gaining the necessary licenses and security certificates.

Bramley-Moore dreams closer to reality for Everton

The latest announcement brings the Bramley-Moore dream a step closer to reality for the Blues.

The test events are essential to identify issues with infrastructure and the stadium itself so that they can be resolved in time for the full opening at the start of next season.

Any issues should be ironed out by the time that the new campaign rolls around and the stadium should be ready to host a full contingent of fans.

While it will be a sad moment when they leave Goodison, it will signal the start of a new era under the new ownership when the Toffees make the move.

It is an exciting time to be on the blue half of Merseyside with the Friedkins set to back David Moyes to reshape the playing squad in the transfer window after years of misery under Sean Dyche.

The hope will be that the spending can propel the Blues up the Premier League table, into the top half, and maybe even European qualification, with the relegation battles of the Farhad Moshiri era being only a distant memory.
